“Benfica made a good game! Belenenses had a very defensive approach, was a very organized team, with good players and defended with the weapons it has. In the first half, we had total control of the match, and we created several goal chances, Belenenses defended well, and we went to the break with a scoreless draw. In the second half, we entered on the front foot, we scored two goals, and against all the odds, in two minutes they scored two goals and tied the match. After that, we created two or three goal opportunities, and we could have clinched the win. If there had to be a winner, it would have to be Benfica”, analyzed André Almeida.

We are doing our job the best way we can, and we must continue as we have been saying, it is one game at a time and one training session at a time”, claimed the full-back of the team coach by Bruno Lage.
